New Features
1. Windowed / Fullscreen Switching
A new “Display Mode” option has been added to the pause menu.
You can now switch between fullscreen and windowed mode at any time.
Windowed mode automatically keeps a clear 16:9 ratio without blur or stretching.
2. Paper Plane Control Improvements
When the character is standing still, the facing direction and paper-plane aim now follow the mouse more accurately, making the throw more intuitive and flexible.

Improvements & Fixes
1. Achievement trigger stability improved.
Fixed rare cases where “all achievements” could be delayed or fail to pop.
2. Thread connection logic fixed.
Resolved an issue where, after a connection was completed and the light turned off, the assist line could incorrectly treat it as a new connection start.
3. UI and interaction feedback enhanced.
General polishing for clearer visual cues and smoother operation.

Developer’s Note
Thanks for all the recent feedback — I’ve gone through everything point by point.
Still polishing every detail to make the experience smoother and more stable.
Hope you enjoy the update!

Monsters are blessed by the Polar Lights, dropping Polarlight Chests filled with incredible loot. But the real prize? The Polarlight Cape!

✨ Polarlight Cape – Power Unleashed:
This cape grants crazy buffs for 1 hour, turning you into an absolute powerhouse! But once the hour is up, the cape vanishes. Will you harness its strength before it fades?

💰 Double Your Gains:
Want more chests? Grab the Magical Polarlight Pouch from the Itemshop and boost your chest drop rate by +100% for 1 hour! During the event, you can use up to 2 pouches to maximize your loot and dominate the hunt!

The Polarlight Chest drop rate is unaffected by regular bonuses, keeping the competition fair for everyone!
